I understand that to be the case. However, I don't want to run a window
manager just to get mplayer to behave correctly. My previous setup was a
dual 400MHz PII - adding a window manager to the mix added unnecessary
complexity and maintenance. I squeezed it for every ounce of memory and
CPU :)
Now that I have upgraded, at some point I might add a window manager.
Regardless, it seems to me that it should work correctly without one.
Requiring a window manager to manage a full screen app seems sloppy. Heck,
someday I would like to get rid of X completely use embedded QT. The
entire X windowing system along with a window manager is overkill for a
single purpose pvr/media box.
